Tomorrowland new entrance

Well...it's signaling a change in direction due to the contrast with Dumbos Space Spinner:

New Concept Art Released for Reimagined Tomorrowland Entrance at Disneyland

Such a clash... I hope they're planning to get rid of the Astro Orbitor sooner than later because that concept art is a mess.

So they used the old backdrop, and? That doesn't indicate anything other than they are lazy with their concept art. Rocket Rod (or Peoplemover for that matter) cannot come back without a major tear down and rebuild of the track. Which would require it to be brought up to 2019 ADA standards. Which would require they rebuild a lot of the buildings since the clearance isn't up to standards. Sorry it ain't happening, at least not in the current project. If and that's a big IF they do a complete tear down of TL, then I could see something happening. But I'd rather them do Tron or some other attraction then to bring back a failed attraction.

I bet the artist that made that concept art has never step foot in Disneyland. Probably works in Florida.

Looking at that picture, how are we supposed to know what land we are in? Nothing says Tomorrowland. We could be in Galaxy's Edge for all Tourists know.

Nothing at the entrance of SWL says Galaxy's Edge either, so...

 

[mickEblu]

It was always Walt's desire that Tomorrowland reflect 1967 forever.

Well no but have you seen any TL at any Disney park around the world currently that looks better than TL 67 or inspires more optimism? That’s my concern.

Yeah and no one goes in there.

Shame. I hear they have some of pretty immersive rockwork.

I hear they have a huge piece of junk back there.

I've seen it! It's pretty big, but also flat and low to the ground which makes getting a picture in front of it kind of challenging.

Maybe you could take a picture of it on it's ramp?

I was one of the lucky people that got to walk on it before they closed it to the general public. It was really something!

 

[el_super]

They probably weren't planning on publishing anything until people online kept saying "That's it? Just grass?!"

It's funny because the grass itself didnt bother me as much as this does. You're probably right. It's just making a bigger deal about it that makes it seem underwhelming.

Clearly, you've given this a lot more thought than I have. But you are one of this forum's special little snowflakes.

If you say so.....

Shanghai. Maybe it doesnt look too futuristic sitting in the most modern city in the world, but compared to sleepy old Anaheim... it's much more modern, sleek, and stylish.

Yuck. It looks cold and sterile

Don't you know that is our future...

That art is just bad. What makes it worse is that there is a small group of Imagineers at Disneyland so someone could have gone out and taken a picture of the land as it currently exists instead of editing art that is over 20 years old.

 

[mickEblu]

I disagree. I think we are Slowly entering into a new era of human consciousness.

The 2010 ADA Design Standards don’t define reach envelopes for ride vehicles.

If you say so, you probably know better than I do. But this has always been one of the things brought up when talk about reviving PM/RR has come up on these and other boards.

@Darkbeer1 would know better than I would what the specific requirements are that Disney would have to follow for PM or RRs to come back.

Either way it doesn't really matter as we both know that PM/RR (at least in this iteration) is never coming back. Besides George doesn't really care.

Well this is a different topic not for this thread. But my belief is that eventually we'll move our consciousness away from our corporeal form. This means the physical plain doesn't need to be anything more than a cold sterile environment as we won't be physically in it.
